What is the right of Initiative? It is the right of citizens to propose state laws or constitutional amendments which after they have collected enough signatures, the proposed legislation is placed on the geneal election ballot for the approval (or rejection) by the Texas voters.
What is the right of Referendum? It is the right of citizens to repeal laws passed by the state legislature that the citizens feel are harmful. They do this in the same way as the initiative, collecting signatures and having the proposition placed on the general election ballot for approval or rejection by Texas voters. The legislature passed law cannot go into effect until the paople have voted.
